40 designs inspired by ancient Celtic symbols and incorporating modern expression – printed on one side of the page
This coloring book has forty designs which are Celtic inspired. The designs include spirals, knotwork, mandalas, symbols and even patterns. The artist, Jen Delyth, grew up in Wales and was inspired by the artwork of her youth with its ties to the Celts. For my first project, I choose to color “Cranes Knot Panel” which incorporates birds into the knotwork design.The designs in the book have a look of both balance and eternal movement with the unending knots and spirals. Some of the designs are open and easy to color with lots of room to blend while others are more detailed and yet others very detailed and have intricate and small areas to color. The book has a really nice mix of designs and challenge levels.This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium.40 Celtic inspired designs by Jen DelythPrinted on one side of the pagePaper is heavyweight, white, slightly rough, and perforatedGlue BindingDesigns do not merge past the perforations and most have a frame of sorts around the outer edge of the design.Alcohol-based markers bleed through the pageWater-based markers and India ink pens bleed through the page in spots.I use a blotter page below my working page when using these wet mediums. It keeps the ink from seeping through. You can also remove pages before coloring to keep the rest of the book from being damaged.Gel pens leave a slight shadow on the back of the page but do not bleed through. Some pens require additional drying time.Colored pencils work well with this slightly rough paper. I was able to layer and blend easily with both oil and wax based pencils.I was provided an advance reader copy of this book by the publisher.
